No.
This is not done. There are two major issues.
1. Plagiarism was an issue that we covered last time when the same thing happened. A lot of us were pretty clear on what it meant. To say you didn't know, I'm sorry but that is just not right.
2. Please do not bring try and justify yourself based on what everyone else does. People do many things and to say that "I am not at fault because everyone else does it too" is the worst excuse.
Also, plagiarism might not have serious ramifications here on IF, but I've been writing for well just about 10 years now and I know the rules for Wattpad, FFN, AO3, and other fiction hosting websites back to front. Any member caught plagiarising is immediately banned for life on those sites and lord help me but some people do send in legal notices when their work gets plagiarised. Kindly do not bring in issues from Wattpad and other websites here. Wattpad mods are strict about this and I've seen cases where they have contacted IF mods regarding the issue and the member and don't even get me started with FFN.
There is an etiquette that one follows when writing fanfiction. Plagiarism is considered the worst thing you can do to yourself and even in school kids being taught not to plagiarise. How on earth can you say that you didn't know, Aru? Specially when the same exact thing happened last time?
Oh and P.S.
If you think this is bashing, then clearly you do not know me.
